Battle of Orynin

To face the invaders, a Polish army consisting of pospolite ruszenie, wojsko kwarciane, and private units of magnates (a total of 15,000 soldiers) moved into the Ukraine.

Finally, Zamoyski was saved by Janusz Ostrogski and Krzysztof Zbaraski, who sent several hundred well-trained riflemen.

On the next day, expecting a major battle, Polish forces united under Zolkiewski, and awaited the Tatar assault.

Soon it turned out that the Tatars had left Orynin, and scattered over vast territories of the southeastern corner of the Commonwealth.

After capturing rich booty and thousands of men and women, the invaders returned to their homeland in mid-October along the so-called Black Trail.
